• Alton Brown’s Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

  Posted on Thursday May 7th, 2009 at 07:16 pm in desserts breakfast & brunch

  It’s my birthday, and tradition in my office is to bring in dounts, brownies, or other baked goods. I try to be a little different than the predictable Panera bagels or Dunkin Donuts. Somehow I got myself into the mood for cinnamon rolls. I spe...

• Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies

  Posted on Sunday March 22nd, 2009 at 05:18 pm in desserts cakes

  We had company for dinner last night. I decided we needed to have a dessert. I’ve been on a diet and Weight Watchers for some time now and have avoided making dessert. As with any diet, you need to adjust your life to live with it. I’ve come to u...

• Peanut Butter Pie

  Posted on Wednesday January 23rd, 2008 at 08:52 pm in desserts pies

  Today is National Pie Day according to the National Pie Council. Who would have thought that there is a pie council? Anyway, I felt that I should post one of my favorite pie recipes. I hardly ever bake pies anymore. It’s not the most heart-healthy ...

• Phil’s Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings

  Posted on Tuesday January 1st, 2008 at 05:01 pm in desserts

  My friend Phil brought this dessert to our New Year’s Eve party. It was the most popular dish and disappeared fast. The ingredients sound a little strange, but the results are quite delicious. It is very sweet and definitely not diet food! It would...

• Hungarian Nut Roll

  Posted on Sunday December 23rd, 2007 at 08:28 pm in desserts holiday

  Christmas would not be Christmas without a Hungarian nut roll. I was raised in an ethnic family where Hungarian pastries were plentiful, especially during the holidays. I have searched for a nut roll recipe that was similar to my grandmothers. My bro...

• Cake Balls

  Posted on Thursday December 20th, 2007 at 08:21 pm in desserts

  While browsing the Recipezaar recipe board, I saw a good bit of discussion on this recipe. It was somewhat unusual and intrigued me. I bought a cake mix and frosting a few weeks back and decided to give them a whirl during the holidays. Lat night my ...

• Cider-Poached Apples with Cinnamon Yogurt

  Posted on Sunday December 16th, 2007 at 06:48 pm in desserts

  My partner could have neither dairy products, nor anything with wheat (i.e., flour). Pretty well wipes out the dessert category — my favorite thing to cook! This was the one thing I found which I could make for him, and we both loved it! 2 c...

• “Dirt Cake”

  Posted on Sunday December 16th, 2007 at 06:33 pm in desserts

  Buy a clean flowerpot (plastic only - clay is harmful) and garden shovel to serve this — your party guests will love it! Plastic flowers, although not maximum fabulousness, also are better to “top” this dirrrrty dessert treat! 1 l...

  Simple and delicious - just my kind of cooking! 1 cup margarine 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups flour 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla 6 small Hershey bars 1 cup chopped walnuts Cream margarine and sugar. Add yolk and vanilla, and work in flour. Spread on j...

• “Hello Dolly”

  Posted on Sunday December 16th, 2007 at 02:29 pm in desserts cookies

  Don’t know how it got its name, but it’s my all-time favorite cookie. This is actually a pretty well-known recipe, sometimes called “Seven Layer Bars” (which is clearly more descriptive but less fabulous). My own twist on the ...

• Glazed Apple Pie Bars

  Posted on Tuesday September 25th, 2007 at 08:48 pm in desserts

  Apples are abundant and at their peak right now. Many varieties are still on the trees. Autumn is a time I cook with apples. Baking with apples is even better. I can’t recall the origin of this recipe. I know that I have had it for 6-7 years. It is...
